Here is a song I wrote a few years ago...Music, Lyric, vocal: Ron MadoreWritten in regards to abuse.

I use to pull the covers over my headTo silence the soundTurn on some music insteadWhen the fighting got too loud

Oh why, did this happen every nightI'm sure mama felt the sameWhen she sent me on my way to play...And I remember...

Mama didn't smile anymoreUntil the heavens opened up it's doorsAnd now the Lord holds her life in his handsFree from the man that took her life awayIn case she's wonderin' where he staysHe's behind the iron doorAnd he doesn't smileAnymore, anymore

She said son when you become a manNever raise up a handUnless you're wavin' up to meAnd she looked at DaddyAnd I remember...

Mama didn't smile anymoreUntil the heavens opened it's doorsAnd now the Lord holds her life in his handsFree from the man that took her life awayIn case she's wonderin' where he staysHe's behind the iron doorAnd he doesn't smileAnymore, anymore

I bet she's smilin'I bet she's lovin'I bet she's free from thebruises and the painFree from the man who tookHer life away...Away, ooohI can see your smile
